    Incomes went up in 2017. I think that's established fact.

    Incomes have been rising steadily since 2009/2010, but I bet you knew that already didn't you.

    Please explain what exactly the Republicans/president have to do with this?

    And yet you cheered over the $1.1 TRILLION in increased Federal Debt under Obama in 2016!

    While Trump is currently trending for a Trillion Dollar Debt increase this year, he has reduced the Federal Debt by a $100B in the last month, so, we will see how the remaining 7 months go, he might surprise you, yet again!

    Why should anyone respond to a thread about the CBO which trumpers here slammed and criticized constantly. Not taking the bait.

    Posting videos of Trump himself saying all these numbers are rigged and fake didn't change your mind so what am I supposed to do?

    i cheered Obama's stimulus package, not the $1.1 trillion deficit.

    Obama brought the deficit down to $400 billion a year.

    Trump is bringing it back to $1 trillion a year.

    Of course not because they have no clue what's even going on, Dick pills Jones and Hannity tell them what to say and they parrot it.

    Yeah...I'm citing the ACTUAL NUMBERS THAT ARE REAL for April, the local left is pretending that the CBO Crystal Ball , somehow, makes those go away.

    Talk about having "no clue what's even going on"....

    Wow! That really sucks for the DP.
    Fortunately Nancy Pelosi has promised to fix it with a Big Tax Hike when she becomes Speaker in 2018. Go Blue!!! ;-)

    And look at the responses here; their masters sent them out with nothing more than yet, another , ERRONEOUS CBO PREDICTION, to try to counter the ACTUAL NUMBERS, which the CBO ALSO WAS WRONG ABOUT, in its prediction!!!

    You cannot BUY comedy this good !!

    You guys are HILARIOUS!!!!

    Well, glad to see that the CBO can at least COUNT REAL NUMBERS, better than they can "PREDICT" anything.

    Getting the popcorn for an enjoyable session of reading the "leftsplaining" about how "bad" this really is. Should be hilarious!! :rock_slayer:

    April was best month in history for U.S. budget, according to CBO figures

    The federal government took in a record tax haul in April en route to its biggest-ever monthly budget surplus, the Congressional Budget Office said, as a surging economy left Americans with more money in their paychecks — and this more to pay to Uncle Sam.

    All told the government collected $515 billion and spent $297 billion, for a total monthly surplus of $218 billion. That swamped the previous monthly record of $190 billion, set in 2001.

    CBO analysts were surprised by the surplus, which was some $40 billion more than they’d guessed at less than a month ago.

    Analysts said they’ll have a better idea of what’s behind the surge as more information rolls in, but for now said it looks like individual taxpayers are paying more because they have higher incomes.

    So when the MSM downplays this or spins it to make it look bad, how can they possibly not want the country to fail? Why else would they do everything possible to make the POTUS look bad even when there is a way to make him look good? Because the MSM is the Liberal arm of the Democrat party and they want the country to be miserable until they can take over again and tell us its all rainbows and sunshine.

    Truly. Look at the responses in this thread. Woefully weak and ineffective, yes, but with ONE COMMON GOAL: try to make good news for Americans , BAD.

    It's pathetic...but not suprising.

    The left EXISTS on "victimhood", which is a hard ticket to sell, when things are going well....
